I'd recommend a building inspector anyway. Ours picked up things I'd have never noticed (not that I jave much experience) and his price has been pretty reasonable. Can flick you his details if you want. He's had no trouble getting to our build in Wellard so imagine Baldivis is within his area too. Hope none of the problems are too major. Trying to figure out why they cut the external bricks like that. I contacted your inspector and they were willing to travel to Madora Bay so I am sure Baldivis will be fine. @Madora Dreamer Re: My first build - Celebration Homes - Brightwood Baldivis 74May 22, 2017 11:10 pm that looks like very similar to the same issue one of our neighbors had with their celebration build. They were told that the slab was laid with older plans. At least in your case, it is better than the issue they have where their slab was cut in the middle of the room to make way for the plumbing pipes. I will strongly recommend that you get a building inspector. Re: My first build - Celebration Homes - Brightwood Baldivis 75May 23, 2017 10:29 pm Site meeting with SS tomorrow morning. He's told me the bricky stuffed up and arranged for the slab to be cut. Then realised that it didn't need to be. Pretty big stuff up, but I've said I'm open to whatever solution so long as the engineer signs off on it. Will discuss the other issues when I meet tomorrow!

Hopefully I'll know more tomorrow. First home builder - Brightwood Estate, Baldivis. Celebration Homes. Follow my build here Re: My first build - Celebration Homes - Brightwood Baldivis 80May 24, 2017 2:46 pm Thanks guys. Meeting went well this morning, long story short I'm happy with everything so long as the engineer signs off on the proposed solution. They think it'll add about two weeks to the build time, but I'm in no rush! The bricky told the SS the slab needed cutting and the SS arranged that - however seems to have gone on the brickies word and not double checked. Not ideal but mistakes happen and as long as the solution isn't just a bandaid that will rear its head in two years then fingers crossed we can move forward. I'm now getting an inspector in at plate high/Roof frame on, and again at PCI, so that gives me some peace of mind. Hopefully hear more from the engineer side of things in a few days.
